During the restoration of an ancient monastery, a horrific crime is committed: the victim is deprived of his tongue and his eyes are gouged out. The investigation is entrusted to Major Timofey Koltsov. A few months later, a similar murder occurs, and the key clue is a bird’s claw on a rope. The major is skeptical about the supernatural, but a team arrives at the monastery to film a show about mediums—and a witch enters his life. Inga, who possesses real abilities, sees that the place serves as a portal to hell, and that a demon with a crow’s head lives in the monastery. It lures psychics in and sacrifices them. Inga is next.
In Alexander Belov’s mystical thrillers, the witch and the detective form a captivating tandem: she investigates the supernatural aspects, and he examines the material ones. The past and present intertwine, bringing terrifying events to life in order to reveal their true nature and prevent the horror from repeating.
